Consideration should be given to undertaking a comprehensive electoral reform, which should harmonize election legislation regulating all types of elections and address other pending long-standing recommendations of the OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission. The reform, inter alia, should eliminate undue restrictions on candidacy rights, as well as restrictions on the freedom of mandate. Restrictions on electoral blocs could be lifted in order to promote the competitiveness of the electoral process and wider representation in parliament. Electoral reform needs to be undertaken well in advance of the next elections, and the process should be transparent and inclusive.

Efforts should be stepped up to ensure that all contestants are able to reach out to the electorate on an equal basis and without fear of violence or retribution.

Serious consideration should be given to introducing measures, which would increase the transparency of results data entry at DEC level. If access to data entry premises remains restricted, consideration should be given to providing observers and other stakeholders with the opportunity to observe data entry through means of multimedia tools such as large monitors, which would allow them to compare the data entered into the Vybory system against figures included in PEC results protocols and those posted on the CEC website.

Measures to increase transparency of campaign finance and accountability, and to strengthen existing or introduce effective and proportionate sanctions for non-compliance with disclosure regulations should be given consideration. The capacity of the CEC and the DECs should be further developed to meet their obligations to analyse and publish party and candidate financial reports during and after the campaign period.

The Ukrainian authorities should take effective measures to alleviate impediment obstacles for the temporary re-registration of voters from the Crimean peninsula, in order to further facilitate the participation and exercise of constitutional rights of these voters. In this respect, procedures regarding their registration and voting should be simplified to the maximum extent possible, and electoral and governmental authorities should intensify their efforts to inform residents in these territories of the means by which they can vote.

The election law should clearly define how print media should mark paid election-related material. In addition, self-regulatory bodies such as the Journalist Ethics Commission could consider reinforcing professional standards and media literacy through training programmes for journalists.

Consideration should be given to rearranging practical aspects of the counting and tabulation processes, so as to facilitate the receipt and processing of election materials on election night. For instance, paper packages for election materials used by PECs could be replaced with sturdier packages to avoid damage during transportation and thus unnecessary consequences at DECs.

As previously recommended, serious consideration should be given to adopting a unified election code. In line with international good practice, it should be adopted in an open and inclusive manner, and any changes to fundamental aspects of the election system should not take effect less than one year prior to an election. The CEC should adopt all necessary regulations to supplement the legislation.

The legal framework on campaign finance should be further strengthened to ensure that third-party financing and in-kind contributions do not circumvent regulations and reporting requirements. Dissuasive and proportionate sanctions should be established. The NAPC should be designated as the sole independent oversight body to monitor and investigate compliance with campaign-finance regulations and should be sufficiently mandated, empowered, and resourced.
